Cannondale Topstone Carbon Ultegra RX 2020 Mens Gravel Bike

The Cannondale Topstone Carbon Ultegra RX 2020 Men’s Gravel Bike in Midnight comes with Cannondale’s new KingPin suspension system. Cannondale have used their experience making fast race bikes, comfortable endurance bikes and ultra-light dual suspension mountain bikes to create a bike designed for maximum fun in places beyond most gravel bikes' abilities.

Cannondale’s KingPin Suspension is a revolutionary, super-light suspension design that lets you ride harder on dirt and more smoothly on pavement. KingPin allows movement in the rear triangle for up to 30mm of bump-smoothing suspension, without the weight and complexity of a shock or linkages.  The LockR Pivot and thru-axle pivot locks the left and right seat-stays together, preventing independent rotation for a solid feel and instantaneous response.

The Topstone Carbon comes with big 700x37c tyres for grip and comfort, but has room for up to 40mm tyres with tons of clearance. You can even put on 650 wheels with 48mm tyres on it. The Topstone also comes with plenty of places to store gear and water, with a multi-position mount on the downtube, and more on the top tube, seat tube, and under the down tube. There's even mounts on the forks. For true off-road capability the Topstone Carbon is built to accept an internally-routed 27.2 dropper seatpost.

The Topstone Carbon is one of the new generation of connected Cannondale bikes. It comes with an integrated wheel sensor that delivers hyper accurate speed, route and distance info, registers your bike, reminds you of needed service and more, all through the free Cannondale App.

The Topstone Carbon Ultegra RX comes with the 11 speed Ultegra gears and hydraulic brakes including the Ultegra RX clutch rear derailleur. The clutch Ultegra RX rear derailleur helps to stop your chain flapping around when you go over bumps. Handy on a gravel bike as capable as the new Topstone Carbon. Compared to the RX 2 the main upgrade on the Topstone Carbon RX is that it comes with Cannondale’s HollowGram carbon wheels for a stiffer and more responsive ride.
